Honestly, its very little when you compare that to $60 billion tourism,
coupled with the billions in losses by commercial fishing, coupled with the loss of service by the environment...hundreds of billions of dollars.
The moratorium affects a small subset of the population compared with these far reaching effects.

That $60 billion number is quite misleading as it pertains to the spill.
Yes this. A lot of ifs. The Moratorium, if left unchecked will be a lot easier to calculate. A lot more guess work in calculating fishing and tourism loses compared to the moratorium. Im sure Barry will have his actuary's burning up the calculators for this mess. Never let a crisis opportunity go to waste.
